Patient Safety Checklist

Today, we have another patient safety tip brought to you by Quality Insights. Patient safety is not just the responsibility of healthcare providers, but of patients and their families as well. As a family member, it is important to be involved in a patient’s care. Active engagement in one’s healthcare helps improve the quality of care received, as well as reduce the risks for any harm that may accidentally occur. To learn more about how to be involved as a patient, or family member, you can view Quality Insights Patient Safety Checklist by clicking here.

Another Patient Safety Tip: Wash Your Thumbs!

            That’s right, wash your thumbs! According to Quality Insights, recent studies show that when people wash their hands they have a tendency to forget about their thumbs. In honor of Patient Safety Awareness Week, we here at Barnes-Kasson Hospital want to spread the word. Washing your hands is one of the simplest things that everyone can take part in to help reduce spreading germs. Just don’t forget about your thumbs!

A Tip for Patient Safety Week

      Patient Safety Week is well underway, and to get into the spirit of it we have a tip to share from The American Geriatrics Society regarding medication use by older adults. The AGS wants to make people aware of medications that should be used with caution, or avoided altogether, as people start getting older. The following PDF document shares information about how certain medications have more of an effect on older adults, lists the different types of medications, and tells you the reasons why they should be used with caution.
